We are very pleased to put forth the first edition of 'Laboratory Manual of Industrial Pharmacy I'. We believe that the manual will fulfill the aspirations of Industrial Pharmacy teachers and students too. This manual is prepared as per PCI Education Regulations, 2014 for Degree Course in Pharmacy. Each experiment is arranged sequentially such as aim, practical significance, practical outcomes, theory, requirements, procedure, observations, calculations, results, conclusions and synopsis questions. Each experiment offers an opportunity to perform practical work, allowing students to acquire proficiency in effectively managing equipment, handling glassware, chemicals and writing conclusion. In addition, questions are provided at the end of the experiments to enhance student’s knowledge, which will be beneficial for them as they pursue higher studies. During the laboratory period you will have to multitask, while you are doing experiment. It is essential to document properly what you do and what you observe while doing the practical. Always plan your work ahead and think about what you are doing, why you are doing it, what is happening and what you can conclude from your experiment. This manual is a sincere effort to improve the practical skills of the students so that every student will understand the objective of each experiment and perform their practical’s smoothly. Theory of each experiment is given in all sixteen experiments making the manual more informative and interesting.
